Riverside

This is a minimal peer-to-peer audio/video recording application inspired by Riverside.fm. It allows two participants to connect via a WebRTC-based video call and record their own audio/video streams locally in high quality. Once the recording is complete, each participant's media is uploaded to Amazon S3 for storage and later retrieval.
